What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For packaged drinking water suppliers

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The order already arrives on WhatsApp”

    A shopkeeper sends a photo of the empty stack or a one-line request. A depot that treats this as the order channel, with a reply in the same thread, loses fewer orders than one that asks the customer to ring.

  • “A personal number cannot be handed over”

    When orders come to the owner's own phone, nobody else can answer in a busy hour. A business number with a catalogue, a greeting and a named person on duty keeps the thread alive.

  • “Societies and offices live in groups”

    A secretary or admin pastes a supplier's number into a residents' or staff group. A clear message with sizes, rates and the slot gets forwarded, and a vague one is not.

  • “Broadcasts to the wrong people damage trust”

    Sending event offers to every contact, including households that never need bulk, trains customers to ignore you. Lists must be split by buyer type, and contacts must have agreed to hear from you.

What we do

What we deliver for packaged drinking water suppliers.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A business number with a catalogue

    A WhatsApp Business profile with sizes, brands, rates and delivery areas shown.

    Result: A buyer sees what you sell before the first message.

  2. Saved replies for common questions

    Saved answers on deposits, slots, billing and the area covered.

    Result: Every reply says the same thing.

  3. Split lists by buyer type

    Shops, offices, societies and event buyers kept as separate lists with the permission noted.

    Result: Each message goes only to those who want it.

  4. An order confirmation message

    A short note repeating the order, the date and the slot, sent back to the customer.

    Result: The customer and the driver see the same order.

  5. Rules for who replies and when

    A named person per shift with an out-of-hours message that says when the next reply comes.

    Result: A message is never left without an owner.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What to capture or send

The messages a depot sends on WhatsApp and the details each must carry.

Order confirmation
Jars or cartons, delivery day and road in writing. The buyer can correct a mistake before the van leaves.
Rate sheet to a shop
A single image or PDF with carton rates, credit terms and delivery days. Dated, so an old sheet is not mistaken for the current one.
Delivery and returns note
Jars delivered and returned and the balance held. It replaces a paper slip and settles questions on the deposit.
Event enquiry reply
A saved reply asking for date, quantity, venue and a receiver's name. It collects what the dispatcher needs without a long call.
Holiday schedule notice
Changed delivery days around a festival, sent only to the localities concerned. It cuts the missed orders that cause complaints.

Who it is for

This is written for these packaged drinking water suppliers.

  • Agencies and depots holding a bottling brand's territory
  • 20-litre jar suppliers to offices and homes
  • Wholesale suppliers of sealed bottle cartons to shops
  • Event, wedding and catering water suppliers
  • Suppliers to hostels, PGs and coaching centres
  • Suppliers to construction sites and labour camps
  • Multi-brand suppliers carrying more than one label
  • Door-to-door home delivery operators

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The business number is the owner's personal phone, and customers would lose the thread when it changes hands.
  • You have no one to reply during delivery hours, and an unread order message is a lost order.
  • You plan to send the same offer to shops, offices and halls, when each group wants different things.

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Read the chats you already have

    We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.

  2. 2

    Sort the list and the permission

    Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.

  3. 3

    Choose the app or the API

    One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.

  4. 4

    Write the replies and the plan

    The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.

  5. 5

    Connect the record and test

    Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.

  6. 6

    Read the unanswered questions

    A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Is WhatsApp allowed for business messages?
Yes, through the business app and the platform's tools, within its current rules, which you should check before sending bulk messages. We set up only messages to people who have asked or agreed.
Can we send the same offer to everyone?
It is better not to. Offers for events suit caterers and halls, not households. We split the contacts by buyer type and keep each message relevant.
Do we need a paid tool?
Not at the start. The free business app covers a catalogue, quick replies and labels. A paid tool becomes worth considering once several people share the number.
Can the depot add a customer to a broadcast list without asking?
No. Ask first, and record the answer. People who did not agree to messages block or report the number, which can cost you the number itself. A simple opt-in line on the first order message is enough.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
